Yeah, that’s why when I look at HOF candidacy, I usually look at where their stats fall with their top 7 seasons.Emmitt was still with his original team and coming off a thousand yard season when he passed Payton. Also, without Emmitt's couple of hanging on years he's still top 2 or 3. He doesn't fall all the way down to around 20th. Most great players have a couple of hanging on years at the end. Gore's is extreme and as a result his counting stats look way way better than he actually was.
The fact that Gore amassed like 5 seasons of bottom tier starting RB stats shouldn’t add jack squat to his legacy. More power to Gore for earning that paycheck and doing what he loves, but that’s it.
